Finding the length of an mp3 file

Question

So i have the code:

import glob,os
import random


path = \'C:\\\\Music\\\\\'
aw=[]
for infile in glob.glob( os.path.join(path,\'*.mp3\') ):
    libr = infil         


        

Answer 1

Maybe do the playing also within Python, i.e. don't use os.startfile, use some Python library to play the file.

I have recently written such a library/module, the musicplayer module (on PyPI). Here is a simple demo player which you can easily extend for your shuffle code.

Just do easy_install musicplayer. Then, here is some example code to get the length:

class Song:
    def __init__(self, fn):
        self.f = open(fn)
    def readPacket(self, bufSize):
        return self.f.read(bufSize)
    def seekRaw(self, offset, whence):
        self.f.seek(offset, whence)
        return self.f.tell()

import musicplayer as mp

songLenViaMetadata = mp.getMetadata(Song(filename)).get("duration", None)
songLenViaAnalyzing = mp.calcReplayGain(Song(filename))[0]
